    Love this song! The discovery channel part didn’t age well though.

    Let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel

    Fishing crabs in Alaska or digging for gold?

      Back in the late 20th century, Discovery Channel actually had documentaries on them, many of them nature documentaries

    • At my year 7 (age 11-12) christmas disco back in '98 some year 11s (age 15-16) were DJing.

      Our head teacher was sat behind them to make sure they didn’t play anything inappropriate.

      The only song she stopped was this after the discovery channel line.

      I love that you love this song. Taste is something you should never have to feel ashamed for.

      Yet 90’s/early 2000’s stuff I feel so cringe about. <begin s> how could I ever enjoy that <end s>

    This song was a phenomena back when it came out. I was in highschool, saw it on Mtv one night. Told a few friends about the next day, but no one had heard of yet. About a week later, it was everywhere. Heard it played or referenced repeatedly for a while. Then one day it just faded away…

      They also had that song “You’re Pretty When I’m Drunk” but that’s all I remember about the band.

      Edit: I just remembered the Ballad of Chasey Lain.

        How about Three Point One Four?

        And how many girls do you know that can play the harmonica with their pussies?

    I want to say this cd was designed to look like a naked breast if one put their tongue through the spindle hole. Maybe I’m misremembering though. I do remember buying it on a field trip where we got to go to a city with a big mall

      if one put their tongue through the spindle hole.

      Or, ya know, a fingertip, like you’re not a weirdo.

      It did. The album title was “Hooray for Boobies”

    I remember telling a girl when I was in 5th grade to “Please turn me on, I’m Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip”, having no idea what it meant.
